Pep Tells His Players To Not Joke With Their Diet And Sleep – Clichy

Ex Manchester City defender, Gael Clichy has come out to open up on Pep Guardiola’s strict standards in training. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the details are very important to Pep in training, and his players must not even joke with their food, sleep and effort with him.

Clichy added that if a player is two kilos heavier than normal, Guardiola will not let him train.

His words, “Two different generations. Arsene had two assistants and a goalkeeper coach. Pep had eight or nine coaches working with him.”

“Nowadays details are very important. In the past, if you had the best player you won most of the games. Clubs with smaller budgets tried to make it difficult for the big boys. You had to take care of your health, your lifestyle. You had to sleep well, eat well, work well. The club spending money is very important in football these days.”

“Pep Guardiola had strict rules but it’s very normal. For example, if you were two kilos heavier than normal, you didn’t train! You just ran and worked separately from the team.”
